Hawaii's Big Island Travel Guide - Must-See Attractions

EARLY MORNING WALKER

Here is proof that the old geezer is out on his walk before the sun comes up...

The first walk of the day is easy, it is the second, in the sun that is draining....

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY

Be my Valentine.......

Over The Sea To Honolulu 1940s

Old Hawaii Honolulu and Waikiki 1950s vacation

ALOHA FROM HAWAII

Back to my old habits.

Start my day with a visit to Moana Hotel on the beach at Waikiki.

My walk starts at that point on the beach and continues for two hours.  Keep watching for the transformation as I walk my way into a dark tan and slim bod...

HOW GAY IS THIS

Talk about 'fey'...

Mind, the chaps more than like thought they were 'men about town'.....

LIFE GOES ON

I am a walker, I have always been a walker.  Being lame of leg slowed me down, but did not stop me.

The thing missed most when I was on the mainland was not being able to walk long periods without fear of being run over in a cross walk.

What I love most about Waikiki is the ability to walk ocean side and never have to cross the road.  The path keeps going for long distance.  There are benches to sit and rest and there are restrooms if they are required.

In no time at all I will have lost the winter fat I put on in Reno...

JAMES AND ROCKY SHOW

 It was a given that I would take up with folks known when I returned to Honolulu.

James has been in my thoughts much and it was with much relief that I found him in good spirits and still fighting the good fight.  James is not 'homeless', he is 'houseless'.  James is still being 'big daddy' to many of the less fortunate on the streets and still placing their needs and wants before his.

I am looking forward to catching up...

Rocky is still being as colourful as ever.  This snap is from Facebook page and one can only hope Rocky was doing fancy dress.  Can you imagine getting TLC from Rocky?

Rocky is waiting on a tax return and dreaming about what he will do with his wealth.

Rocky is homeless because he does not want to pay rent.  Rocky has no interest in using any of his tax return to find shelter, there are more important things to purchase.

When Rocky was last seen, he was enjoying a large bag of groceries.  Rocky LOVES food.  While they last, food stamps, provide Rocky with a bounty.

I hardly feel I have been gone a all...

LET ME CARRY YOUR BURDEN

What is a friend for, if not to help with the burdens of life....

There is nothing I would not do for a friend...

HAWAII IS DIFFERENT

Truth be told, the grass is greener in Hawaii.  It is a very special place.  Mind, the rain help with the lush green landscape.

Every time I have left Hawaii searching for greener pastures, it has never worked out.  Hawaii keeps calling me back.

I am over the moon to be back in the land of ALOHA...

GOT TO LOVE THE LIKELIKE

One of the first roads travelled on when returned to islands.  Made me realize that I had passed over into paradise.....

Taking it one step further, Ron and I went to the LikeLike Drive in on first night and had a real LOCAL meal.  Talk about feeling 'home'.

Did I mention the weather is wonderful?

LIFE

“The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue center light pop and everybody goes "AWWW!”
